HIGH IMPACT VENTURES ON TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE TO MEET EMPLOYER’S EXPECTATION

Purpose of the study: The study aims to focus on all students to engage in progressive ways to attain global competition, to facilitate teachers to concentrate different cohort of students in term of ethnicity, disability, age, socio-economic status, prior educational experience, migrant and nationality, and to support teachers to identify proper academic support system, learning and teaching strategies, assessment, teaching pedagogies, tools, and techniques. Methodology: This study provides various reviews of literature from the various perspective of teaching approach, learning activities, modern supportive learning system, assessment, feedback system and professional development in a specialized discipline. Main Findings: This paper finds how teachers to develop their teaching pedagogy and learning environment to facilitate student’s freedom to think and imagine their way in which will help students to fit themselves in the societal requirements and make students be a more responsible, accountable and confident person and citizens for the country. Teachers can apply a different range of approaches such as mentoring individuals and groups, supervising, coordinating, leadership roles, etc. Applications of this study: This research is significant to resolve the issues faced by teachers in the global teaching and learning environment. It will support teachers to experience a more effective learning environment among different cohorts of the student to meet the required skill sets in a global context. The study can be applying in core areas like designing or planning programs, teaching and learning support systems, assessment, module feedback, learning environment and continuous professional development to teachers. This study will influence and improve students learning from the perspective of teachers, learners, government, industry and professional staff. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research used different approaches suitable to the global teaching context and diverse learning community in the higher education system. According to the emerging changes and high demand skills in the various industrial sector, the appropriate level of the subject area needs to inculcate in the academic program

The antimicrobial efficacy of elaeis guineensis : characterization, in Vitro and in Vivo studies

The urgent need to treat multi-drug resistant pathogenic microorganisms in chronically infected patients has given rise to the development of new antimicrobials from natural resources. We have tested Elaeis guineensis Jacq (Arecaceae) methanol extract against a variety of bacterial, fungal and yeast strains associated with infections. Our studies have demonstrated that E. guineensis exhibits excellent antimicrobial activity in vitro and in vivo against the bacterial and fungal strains tested. A marked inhibitory effect of the E. guineensis extracts was observed against C. albicans whereby E. guineensis extract at =, 1, or 2 times the MIC significantly inhibited C. albicans growth with a noticeable drop in optical density (OD) of the bacterial culture. This finding confirmed the anticandidal activity of the extract on C. albicans. Imaging using scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy was done to determine the major alterations in the microstructure of the extract-treated C. albicans. The main abnormalities noted via SEM and TEM studies were the alteration in morphology of the yeast cells. In vivo antimicrobial activity was studied in mice that had been inoculated with C. albicans and exhibited good anticandidal activity. The authors conclude that the extract may be used as a candidate for the development of anticandidal agent.<br /

Tuberculous otitis media and staphylococcus aureus coinfection in a five-year-old boy with miliary tuberculosis

A five-year-old boy with acute on chronic ear discharge and fever was diagnosed to have tubercular otitis media (TOM) with Staphylococcus aureus co-infection.
